The Old Butterfly Net Poem by Neera Lollbeeharry

The Old Butterfly Net



I carry along an old butterfly net,
With a yawning hole in it set.
Whatever it captures,
Briefly flutters,
But leaves,
For sure,
With the wind...

My net then lies empty,
And I feel unhappy,
That I let the bubbly
Flee.

I always forget
That my butterfly net
Has an open gash
So it cannot stash

I keep trying, like a fool,
To use the worn out tool-
My old butterfly net,
My heart...
